WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Seton Hall men's soccer team battled No. 12 Georgetown for 90 tough minutes, but Hoyas' attack secured a 50th minute goal and snuck in a meaningless tally in the 90th minute as the Pirates fell 2-0 Friday at Shaw Field, snapping a four-match winning streak.

Turning Point
After a scoreless first half, Georgetown, which had the majority of chances on the day, was able to convert in the 50th minute. Pirates goalkeeper Andreas Nota (Rome, Italy) made a great stop on a shot by Jack Beer, but the rebound came right to Georgetown's Achara, who put the ball in the net for the score.

Seton Hall then played the final 30 minutes of the match with only 10 men due to a red card.

Goals

50' - GTOWN - Achara (2) from Beer
90' - GTOWN - Achara (3)

Inside the Numbers

Georgetown led in shots, 26-4, and in shots on goal, 10-2.
Graduate students Stephen Elias (Rye, N.Y.) and Sean Macleod (Troon, Scotland) each put a shot on goal for the Pirates.
Nota made eight saves on the day; he came into the match fifth in the BIG EAST in saves per game at 3.78.

The Pirates are 2-2-0 in BIG EAST play with five matches remaining as they chase a berth in the six-team conference championship.
This was the first time in Seton Hall's defeats this season that it lost by more than one goal, and the second goal came in the match's 90th minute.
The Pirates are now 16-20-3 all-time against the Hoyas.
